Johns Hopkins Responsible AI for Health Symposium (RAIHS) 

The inaugural Responsible AI for Health Symposium (RAIHS) will take place from 8:30am-5pm on August 29, 2024, in Washington D.C.  The goal of the symposium is to convene experts in the field who have approached responsible AI and health from diverse perspectives in their scholarly work. During the symposium, participants will address the promises, challenges, and ethical dilemmas of Al in health care, with a special focus on the tenets of responsible AI development.  We hope to use these conversations and insights as a springboard for research, outreach, and policy efforts. 

Registration for RAIHS is now closed. Please email CDHAI@jhu.edu to be added to our newsletter for future events.
